Librarians and Faculty as Partners: Collaboration at Work



Audio Online Seminar • Thursday, April 10, 2008 • 12:00 - 1:00 PM CDT • $204

Are you a faculty member who
• finds your students’ research projects disappointing?
• is puzzled by students’ lack of information literacy, despite their savvy with technology?
• wants a better way to introduce students to library resources than the old-fashioned “factoid” scavenger hunt?


Librarians not only know what resources are out there, but also the types of resources students like. They can help instructors effectively weave information literacy into engaging everyday classroom activities. Who better for faculty to collaborate with?

Faculty members can rely on librarians to help reinvigorate research assignments, and also meet the requirements of accreditation bodies, which are increasingly insisting that students have information literary skills before they graduate.

Knowledge benefits for you:
• Get specific tips and techniques for classroom collaborations with librarians
• Understand the broad information literacy competencies students should have before graduating
• Learn best practices found on information literacy and collaboration
• Receive a reading list and other materials you can put to work after the seminar
• Get ideas for engaging classroom assignments and active learning activities
• Gain a willingness to try something new!


Who should attend:
• New instructors hoping to learn from resource specialists
• Experienced faculty looking for ways to enhance their classroom assignments
• Department chairs
• Academic deans and assistant deans
• Faculty development personnel
• Campus librarians
• Resource management specialists
